SPIRIT BEATS – Juicy, Punchy Kits.

Each rack contains 16 matching sounds which fit together as a tasteful kit for ultimate playability. They are designed to sound awesome right out of the box with no fuss—fat, solid, punchy, and juicy. Ideal for hip hop, the given kits could also be useful for any genre of electronic music which desires loud, jacking beats. They are wicked for live performance jamming with a Push, Maschine, MPC or similar pad controller.

Zodiacal Theme.

You will recognize the names of the drum kits as astrological horoscopes. Each kit channels the spirit embodied by its corresponding sign.

Macro Controls.

There are 8 Macros on each rack, 6 identical and 2 unique. By adjusting the controls, one can alter the character of the kits from subtle to extreme, adding even more chunk, girth and sizzle to the raw sound. Automate parameters to inject additional variability to the resultant patterns.

Destroyer – Custom Tuned Heavy Saturation.

Room – Short reverb to place all the drums in the same room.

Squash – Parallel compression with fast attack to add body, size and perceived volume.

Snap – Parallel compression with slow attack to emphasized transients.

Vel Sens – Controls the amount of velocity sensitivity.

Transient – Transient shaper. Lower values result in a tighter sound while positive values give a thicker, denser sound.

For the 2 unique macros refer to the Info View (CMD/CNTRL ?) while hovering on each macro.
